It's a funk record. If you really think it's an unprecedented achievement, I recommend such obscurities as "1999", "Sign O The Times" "One Nation Under a Groove" "Talking Book" and "Control"

No need to be condescending. Did I say it was an unprecedented achievement? No. But, cmon, it's not just a funk record. There are splashes of hip-hop, pop, rock, soul, jazz and electronica (ugh, horrible word), and a playfullness and unpredictability at work which I personally find, yes, thrilling. Granted, Prince was juggling all these genres twenty-odd years ago, but Andre is certainly not just apeing him; his personality is stamped all over the album.

Give me a fucking break. She was with Andre 3000 - and they broke up - long before there were "problems" in his relationship with Big Boi. And she dated Common, too. So fucking what?
Oh, and for unfortunately-not-the-last-fucking-time, Yoko did NOT break up the Beatles. Their egos did. This is just ignorant bullshit.

I really like "Morris Brown". The unsettling thing about it is how totally made-for-Andre Scar's part sounds.
"Idlewild Blue" is okay. These songs are much more reassuring about the album (despite their seperation) than "The Mighty O" was.

Phife was good ofc but do I want to hear his solo work? No.
As I said bb solo isnt bad. But that doesnt mean it's great either. Its fine.
As for trying too hard, I should clarify. I mean, making music that sounds very self conscious. Again,not a bad thing, and i like hey ya, those gwen Stefani songs, and other stuff, but at the time I just thought it was a bit too aware of itself, of what it is. But I should give these albums another chance. Not returned to them in years

I don't really like listening to Rick Rubin (or how he keeps trying to steer Andre 3000 back into making product here), but it's pretty interesting to hear Andre talk about losing confidence & not wanting to be in the spotlight, just learning different instruments and getting into Steve Reich, etchttps://brokenrecordpodcast.com/episode-13-andre-3000-and-rick-rubin-in-conversation

this would be my honorable mention for the album. great track. almost feels like a genuine classic prince song — and i mean that as a very high compliment.
if anyone else isn't ready to argue with me yet, here: as an album, speakerboxxx is better than stankonia.

Stankonia is one of my favorite albums of all-time, and for a "messy" album, there's almost nothing I'd cut from it. But the hook on "Snappin and Trappin" is pretty annoying

"who cares what Andre's "solo career" is like. he's never even released a solo record. his legacy is outkast and an all time mc"
Yes hes an all time mc but hes now got the air of I'm too good to do this but ok sure since his asked if I really must then ok let me be so kind as to gift you an occasional verse when I can spare the time
As for no solo records, uh,there was that love below album, as well as that kids album. I'd say all those generous guest verses constitute a career of a sort
